I think that’s a really good idea and we should encourage them. I recommend Kent cigarettes with the Micronite filter for a smooth aroma.
Real EA thinking there. Using spurious logic to provide a rational-sounding explanation for doing something bad you wanted to do anyway.
huh. not the onion. satire is dead.
There’s a reason he can’t name any. Someone probably joked about it, and he thought it would be a good story to increase his shares in tobacco companies and AI
One of the strongest predictors of the cohesion of a religious movement is costly signaling by which people give things up in a highly visible, credible way for the cause, or in a way that only makes sense if they believe in the cause. Deconversion is highly correlated with not witnessing these credible displays.
*Cancers. We would have to cure many cancers. Smoking increases your risk of cancer beyond just throat and lunch cancers.

So they’re going after Arby’s and Subway as well?
Sankar did not name any researchers or provide evidence for the claim.
I wonder why…
Some AI companies executives are blowing smoke up their ass.

Must be a nice break from all of the cocaine.
okay but there’s no way lung cancer catches up to them before incoming ai winter will
i also like how they’re not even considering that “there is no meaningful improvement” might be an option
but if there is no meaningful improvement then their lifes purpose is null so they couldnt possibly even consider that as an option. Thems going to get on early on the NEXT BIG THING and make MONEY!!

Finally some good fucking news. You know. They should be smoking 6 packs a day. Really gets the juices flowing. Gets your brain working at 600% efficiency. Running out of energy? Eat pure, raw Radium. Digest it. Make sure to snort some lead while you’re at it. Blocks negative pathways in your brains. And what’s a sandwich without some good old Americium. We’re all patriots here right.
Our economy is fully intertwined with these people. They will crush us and demand to be spared from the consequences they wrought.
C suite personal at AI companies have taken up smoking crack because… well…
some of that crowd already microdosed meth

macro-microdosing
Silicon Valley makes a lot more sense if you first assume everyone rich is off their fucking tree
“Micro”?
there was a thread there on rationalists microdosing meth for “cognitive improvement” reasons
I remember coming across an HN comment a couple years ago from a guy rambling on about how he had a connection for pure uncut cartel meth and consumed mass quantities, and how great it was for his ADHD. I should have bookmarked or screenshotted it.
